Spicy Dip Bento

I was chopping some vegetables for a bridal shower tomorrow, and it made me hungry for some of the fresh and delicious veggies. So I sliced a few and put them aside for a bento dinner.

 Look at those delicious veggies! And I made a spicy dip to go along with it. YUM!

• Celery Sticks
• Baby Carrots
• Yellow Pepper Strips
• Cherry Tomato
• Spicy Dip in a Yellow Pepper Bowl (Recipe below)
• Mini Watermelons (Recipe Here)
• Crunchmaster Multigrain Crackers

To make the dip you need:

• 2 Tbsp Medium-Hot Chunky Salsa (You can have it more mild if you prefer)
• 2 Tsp Cream Cheese (I used Tofutti Vegan 'cream cheese')
• 1 Tsp Minced Garlic
• 1/2 Tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin
• 1/4 Tsp Paprika
• 1/4 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/4 Tsp Cracked Pepper

*Adjust the spice levels to what you like.

1. Put cream cheese and salsa into a bowl and mix well breaking up and chunks of cream cheese.
2. Add spices and mix, tasting as you go to see how much spice you want.
3. Pour into a pepper bowl or a regular bowl and serve with veggies, crackers, chips, or pretzels. Alternately you could use it as a spread for a sandwich or to top a hamburger. This could also be used as a dressing for Taco Salad if you replaced the cream cheese with sour cream or ranch dressing.
